We had amazing weather that week with sunny days and fresh powder. There was 1 foggy day where we decided to go to the swimming pool which was a lot of fun and nice break mid point of the trip. The highlights for the resort was the ski in- ski out straight from our hotel and the Apres is so so good too! It’s lively and buzzing area that felt so christmassy with all the lights and decoration they have up. The only cons were on some of the blue slopes really close to the resort would get really busy and over crowd but the ski lift never took a crazy amount of time to que so it was worth it in my opinion. I’m definitely going back here!









Skiing over to Swiss side is recommended for confident intermediate skiers for views and quieter slopes.
